Yes, I took the HDMI cable back to BB and bought component cables. No issues now on turning both the TV and Uverse DVR on at the same time. Talked with Uverse, it's software issue that will be cleared up in future.

Have this same problem with Onkyo TX-SR606- tried different codes but can't seem to get any to it properly. Best I can get is to turn receiver off and adjust volume. But will not turn on with remote.Maybe a different code??

Where would I look in the manual to find out. What steps do you do to change that setting on your tv, so I can see if my tv will do that. My tv is a fairly new Sharp Aquos.

You need to start over again, change the hookup. Mine has been playing now for almost two years. I think that you have everything hooked up wrong. Try this: First, you need an antenna. I use a Philips antenna. Plug the antenna into ("antenna in"), on the box. Now your cable or coaxial cord goes into the back of your TV and plug that into ("TV Out"), on the cable box. Now you need to go to menu and set up your TV...I think that the instructions should come in the box that your cable box came in.. I hope this works for you. Let us know if this works for you....If all else fails, you may need another box, they should exchange it for you, just follow instructions that I sent you...

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

The best thing I can tell you is to do what I did: contact Samsung. They were very helpful and my remote works very well with my flat screen. No problems at all.

Sounds like Vizio tech support is a little out of touch, LOL! Please email me regarding the model you have.

I think that's the one biggest flaw with this Sony model. If it senses a 720 or 1080 signal, it won't allow you to select Normal setting. A 4:3 image gets blown up and distorted by either "full" or "zoom" settings. I solved it with DVDs by changing the setting at the level of the Sony player. But I haven't hooked up to a hdtv digital box yet, so I'm not sure how I'll deal with it then. You could use your DVD player as a tuner, possibly, but I hope there's a better solution than that or the TV gets sent back.

When I first got my unit it happend to me several times, then I realize that it was my menu. Make sure you settings are correct on your TV menu, check and make sure your Antenna box is checked and not the cable box on your menu. What I have learned is that when you have a Box connected to your TV, you need to only use the BOXES remote not the one for the tv. I only turn on the TV with that remote, from that point on I only use the Converter box remote. I stopped having that problem when I when to that method.

We to purchased the television for my 86 year old father-in-law. The picture is perfect! Our issue is the remote problem mentioned by others. My father-in-law had direct TV and remote would not work with the television, two remotes was a nightmare for him. We contacted Comcast and have had their service installed they were 99% confident the comcast remote would work with the television. No luck! We really like the set but will have to seriouly consider returning the set because of the failure to get one remote to work with the television. Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Try turning on your TV first then the receiver. I have a Logitech harmony remote and originally had this problem. Once I changed the power on order from Reciver, Cable Box (HDMI), HDTV to HDTV, Cable Box(HDMI) Reciver it did not happen again. The issue was that the receiver could not detect the HDTV. I've also had this isssue when the HDTV was set to the incorrect input.

I am installed with a Sharp television, and "NO", I haven't found a way. Agree with you on the inconvenience.

I use this tv daily and i have not experienced this at all. I think you should call sharp and get their take on this.

I had comcast and bluray player hooked to it but it wouldn't automatically switch even when I turned off the bluray player completely. Tried with cable box, it won't either but I think that was because the cable box is always on standby.

Yeah I'm still trying to get the iO DVR uni remote to work with it and I can't get it to work.. i tried the samsung codes.. I'll try the RCA ones and see if I have any success there. For this remote, there is a manual way of doing it.. but that won't help anyone here since it won't tell me the code to tell anyone anyway... Hope someone else has luck with this!
